On the off chance that you actually didn't get my angle. If you pick a league familiar to you, and that league is fundamentally inferior to the one you are now employed in, there is only a small amount of players to pick from in it, and sooner or later you will no longer be improving your present squad. Arsenal took him on trial and let him go back up, now Bristol Rovers are after him...
Yes but O'Neill is picking from the small amount of players he suspects could cut it in the Premiership.
I agree with you on Naismith, the dury is out on whether he could cut it on the Premiership or not - especially ata club with Villa's ambitions.
Bristol City's interest is irrelevant, there is no way he'll be heading there.
